After flying for a while, Ye Tianfan indeed saw a small town as the villager had mentioned. To avoid suspicion, Ye Tianfan didn't fly directly into the town but landed in a secluded spot outside of it.

Ye Tianfan walked straight in. The sounds of vendors hawking began to grow noisy all around. The town had several main streets, each lined with houses and eaves, as well as some shops. However, more commonly, there were vendors selling directly from roadside stalls.

It seems this town has a relatively large flow of people. It should be possible to ask for directions here.

"Hello, can I ask how to get to the region of the Taichu Sect?" Ye Tianfan went directly to a small stall and inquired with the vendor.

However, the vendor ignored Ye Tianfan and instead raised the snack in his hand.

Ye Tianfan understood that he would need to buy it to get the information, so he directly purchased the snack.

After buying the snack, the vendor finally spoke to Ye Tianfan: "Sir, you're asking about the region of Taichu Mountain? It's quite far, and the way is fraught with dangers. To be honest, sir, I advise against going!"

Perhaps because Ye Tianfan appeared thin and weak, the vendor felt Ye Tianfan could be knocked down with a single punch.

Of course, Ye Tianfan knew the vendor meant well, but he just raised the snack in his hand and said, "Never mind that. I've already bought the snack, so just give me the direction. I have my own ways to get there."

"Well, if you're determined to go, head north. It's ten thousand miles away, past three major dangerous mountains, a man-eating forest, and finally a fire-breathing swamp. Then you'll reach the region of Taichu Mountain. Though I'm not sure why you'd go there, I still advise against it if possible. There were merchant caravans that didn't heed the warnings and insisted on going, only to be wiped out at the first dangerous mountain." The vendor continued to ramble on, seeing Ye Tianfan as a kind and honest person, not wanting him to just disappear like that, and he kept persuading him for another personal reason.

"I have my ways, no need to worry about that," Ye Tianfan said unconcernedly.

Dangerous mountains? What's that, I fly in the sky, not climbing. Forests? I'll just fly over. Swamps? Just fly over as well.

Seeing Ye Tianfan insist on going, the vendor had no other choice. After all, he wasn't anyone significant to him, but seeing Ye Tianfan reminded him of his stubborn son who insisted on becoming a disciple at the Immortal Mountain and disappeared without a trace. Unsure if he succeeded or perished en route.

"Since you have your ways, I won't say more!" finished the vendor, turning to serve other customers.

Ye Tianfan quickly finished the snack he held and then summoned his Flying Sword to fly away directly from the town.

The vendor who had sold the snack to Ye Tianfan was left in shock. My heavens, that man was actually an Immortal Grandmaster, and I was trying to advise him not to go.

Ye Tianfan flew out of the town, following the path the vendor had indicated.

Along the way, he indeed saw the three dangerous mountains mentioned by the vendor. However, after passing the third mountain, the sky had completely darkened. Ye Tianfan ate something and decided not to rest on the road anymore, opting to travel through the night. Thus, he flew for two days and two nights, passing a large forest and a large swamp, before finally seeing familiar terrain.

Upon seeing the familiar terrain, Ye Tianfan knew he was near the Taichu Sect. He heaved a sigh of relief and stopped flying at full speed. After all, flying full speed for two days and nights was truly exhausting.

Ye Tianfan lazily arrived at Yu Garden City, landed outside the city, went to Jade Tower Garden to have a meal, and took a good wash before heading outside the city and once again summoning the Flying Sword to head for Taichu Mountain.

Ye Tianfan passed through the Array of Taichu Sect and flew towards Taichu Peak. He needed to first report his safe return to his master and then to the Sect Leader at Taichu Summit.

Ye Tianfan's arrival had already alerted Tian Chu Zhenren, knowing that Ye Tianfan was riding the Fire Lotus Sword. The familiar aura of the Fire Lotus Sword was sensed by Tian Chu Zhenren as soon as it entered the Array of Taichu Peak.

"Phew!" Tian Chu Zhenren exhaled a large breath of relief upon sensing this familiar aura. Ever since Master Nephew Yun Tian came to inform him of Ye Tianfan's situation, he almost went over there himself to wipe out all those Demon Sect scoundrels. If it weren't for several other heads who've been holding him back, he would have gone on a massacre by now.

Seeing the somewhat sorrowful expressions of his disciples, Tian Chu Zhenren smiled and said, "Tianjiao, go to the door and fetch Little Seventh. After you bring him here, bring him before me."

Upon hearing this, You Tianjiao and the other senior disciples were startled and then joyfully asked Tian Chu Zhenren, "Master, is Junior Brother back? He's okay?"

Then, Dai Tianxin, who asked, got a smack on the head from Tian Chu Zhenren, "What are you saying, hoping something would happen to your Junior Brother?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I was just too excited!" Dai Tianxin apologized sincerely.

"Well, Master, I'll go out first to greet Junior Brother!" With that, You Tianjiao quickly exited. Among them, You Tianjiao was the happiest, knowing that from the time Ye Tianfan joined the lineage of Taichu Peak, it had always been him looking after Ye Tianfan, with a bond akin to a father's elder brother.

So when You Tianjiao heard the master say Ye Tianfan was unharmed, he was overjoyed. Previously, when Tian Chu Zhenren was preparing to rampage against the demonic cultivators, he too had packed up his belongings, ready to follow his master.

As soon as You Tianjiao stepped outside, he saw a small red dot in the sky, knowing it must be Junior Brother.

With a swoosh, Ye Tianfan landed.

"Senior Brother!" As soon as Ye Tianfan touched the ground and saw his Senior Brother waiting for him, he noticed that his Senior Brother's eyes seemed red.

"Junior Brother!" When You Tianjiao saw Ye Tianfan landed, he rushed forward to ruffle his hair, tears of joy streaming down.

"Quick, let's go see Master. Master said to take you to him as soon as you arrived. You should know, Master almost went to Polo Cave to find you personally." You Tianjiao said, pulling Ye Tianfan towards the house.

Once inside, Ye Tianfan saw his master, master's wife, and all the senior brothers there.

All the senior brothers gathered around Ye Tianfan, touching and checking if he was injured or anything.

Tian Chu Zhenren, with a broad smile, said, "It's good you are back, just good to be back!"
